Yoko Ono did an interview with Edible Manhattan in their current November/December issue.
Here are my highlights:
EM: How has your Japanese background influenced your lifelong appetite?
YO: I don't eat quantity. I don't crave for big fat steak, for instance. Just a little bowl of rice and kimchi will do for my lunch. Kimchi is my favorite thing. I eat mostly vegetables. I can't stand how we are treating the animals. I eat fish off and on. But actually, I feel best when i am just eating good fresh vegetables.
EM: Do you have any food memories of John Lennon?
YO: John loved Chocolate. I didn't. But after his passing I went for chocolate and I like it. Now, I'm trying not to eat too much of it.
EM: As a longtime feminist, what do you think about the recent reclamation of homemaking? These days young professionals enthusiastically make there own pickles.
YO: Women of the 60's made pickle, too, you know. Health food started then. We were feminists, but we weren't dumb.
